If our friend M'Eldowney will
write for us an editorial equal to

him at the rate of 20 cents line.
We presume he imagines that he can
do so. Let him exhibit a specimen
of what he can produce.

Can You inform your readers, why

DISCUSSION OF PROHIBITION.

TO be copied by the WellsJurg Heraid)
The Herald came too late for its last
article to be printed in this issue: it VIII
be published in the next number.
This discussion is taking more space
than we expected; we beg the Herald
t. be as brief as we will try to be.
In the present state of the public mind,
it will be more satisfactory to delay an
explanation, why Local Option is less
violation of personal liberty than Prohi-
bition. The explanation will be pub
lished at another stagei in the discussion.

THE LOST SPRING.
Searching tor Petroleum Deposits in the
SabIlle Country.

A mysterious prospecting party which
left this city several days ago returned
yesterday, dispersed and departed even
more quietly than they organized, pur-
chased food and tools and sauntered from
the town in a northwesterly direction.
Who they are or from whence they hail
is impossible to discover. The leader of
the party wore spectacles, carried a bum
die OF books and was respectfully ad-
dressed as professor by his companions.
1t is believed that they are prospecting
in this section for oil. A member of the
expedition was recognized by several for
mer Pennsvlvanians who reside here as a
petroleum dealer from that state. When
approached the prospector denied his
identity.
Nearly twenty years ago Fred Schwartz
and several companions accidentally dis
covered IN oil spring in the Sabille coun-
try. At that time this section was
swarming with hostile Indians and no
member of the party had the remerity to
claim the tract surrounding the flowing
well, but each resolved to return and be-
come the owner OF the valuable find so
soon as practicable.
Many of the men left the country,
some died, others soon forgot the incl
dent and the news of the find remained
a secret as agreed upon by the discov-
ers.
Fred Schwartz states that within the
past few years he has upon numerous oc-
c%asions scar he'd digently but unsuccessful
ly for the lost well, and believes that
he will yet stumble upon the spot some
day.
John Ellison, the machInist and boiler
maker, while prospecting upon the Sa-
billie ence spent the night near the spring,
but has been unable to again find the To-
cality.
1t is hoped that the country will be
thoroughly prospeoted at an early date.
Petroleum will doubtlessly be discovered,
as experts have often reported that sur
face indications of its existence in the Sa
bile region we're plentiful.

BIDDING FOR IMMIGRATION.
The C. &c b. VIII Land Many Strangers
IN wyoming.

w. q. Hawkins, advertising and immi-
grafton agent for the Burlington & Mis-
souri, railway system, interviewed Secre-
tary Shannon yesterday and from that
official obtained much valuable iuforma-
ton which will be embodied in the de
scriptive pamphlet he is preparing for the
purpose of acquainting possible emigrants
with the and advantages of this
section.
In the forthcoming work the compiler
will dwell especially upon the inducements
held out to tradesmen, manufacturers,
miners and farmers to settle in this re-
gion.
To Mr.. Hawkins it is obvious that the
location and surroundings of CHEYENNE
forebode a great future for the Magic
City. She has made gigantic strides in
the past five years and must certainly
progress more rapidly than ever under
the favorable influences which cause bona
ide settlers to flock hither and conserva-
tive Eastern capitalists to invest unhesi-
tatingly after a cursOry view of the field,
they having almost incredible faith in the
possibilities of 50 favored a locality.
To the small farmer Wyoming should
prove a veritable bonanza field. With
small capital and little labor he can es
tablish himself in a lucrative business.
With the ever increasing facilities for ir
rigation, the outlook for produce growers
becomes brighter. Nowhere can vege-
tables be marketed mere proftably, while
eggs, butter and chickens always COM
mand fancy prices.
Mr.. Hawkins, who has just returned
from an official visit to the agricultural
districts of England, is enthusiastic upon
the project of settling a large number of
the d~iscontented farmers of that country
in this section. He says that many of
them will be compelled to emigrate next
spring. and that Wyoming is Justly en-
titled to a share of these desirable arri-
walls.

A Pleasant Party.

evening at the residence of Mr.. a. | Mrs

Indiana state fairs. There we're about
thirty people in attendance and to say
that the affair was genial and enjoyable

find the building completed and ready for
occupancy. A more prudent and admir-
able disposition ofthe money at their com
mand could not possibly be made. The
appropriation was $4,000. OF
this amount $1,000 were paid
for an entire block of ground on cemetery
hill. The building itself was erected
after plans made by j. s. Matthews, the
architect. j. H.. Grimes was the con-
tractor. 1t is ffty-eight feet long by
twenty nine feet through the main part
of the building. 1t is practically three
stories high, built of brick on a very sub
stantial foundation of stone. and with its
peaked roots, gables and turrets Is a very
handsome building. Inside everything
has been arranged to the best
possible advantage and every foot of
space utilized. The class room, reception
rooms, dormitories and refectory are
light, airy and cheerful. The whole
building is surrounded by a neat fence,
which, with the necessary outhouses,
form a complete and convenient structure
for the purposes for which it was in
tended.
1t is a standing credit to everyone who
has had anything to do with its construc-
ton.

The writer pauses to remark that it is
about time that the romance going the
rounds of the Eastern press alleging that
ian enormous black bear freed a mes.
senger in the Union Pacific yards here
and held him captive for two hours be
exploded. The bruin in question was a
diminutive specimen OF the cinnamon
tribe which occupied a crate in the Smith
sonian Institute car. The day prior to
the imaginary occurrence so graphically
described by an Omaha reporters LEADER
representative visited the car and was
shown through it by Prof Hornaday.
When the cage Of the bloodthirsty animal
was reached the renowned ta1idermist
''yankcd" it from the crate by the ''scruf"
of its neck and deposited it on the floor.
The bear was no larger than an ordinary
poodle dog.

DISC HARGED.
Link and Baker VIII Not be Prosecuted
Further.

After examining a number of witnesses
the grand jury yesterday returned the
indictment for manslaughter against Link
and Baker. principals in the Chugwater
tragedy, marked mot a true bill"
While the killing of Pellibg and wound
ing of Cooley by the defendants when
acting as Albany county deputy sherifs
was a most deplorable occurrence, the
action of the grand Jury had been antici
pated and cannot consistently be con
demned by anyone.
A terrible mistake, or rather a series of
errors, led to the demise of poor Polling
and Gripping of Cooley. 1t was a mis-
take to place those dashing young men in
pursuit of the escaped prisoners, arm
them and place them upon the trail with
instructions TO capture the fleeing crimi
mails at all hazards. Such a desperate
mission should have been entrusted to
older heads and steadier hands.
AS the jury has decided. it was with
no criminal intent that the young men
fired upon the pair whom they supposed
to be the fugitivCs from justice and it is
probable hat zone regret the affair more
than they. 1t is understood hat in con-
junction with the coroner's jury the grand
jury %exonerates the young men from the
malicious charge that they were ~iDtoxica-
ted when engaged in such serious business
as the pursuit of desperate criminals.
